SAP “IT Industry Employer of Choice” in China

Software giant SAP has been honoured as the “IT Industry Employer of Choice” at the recently held “Top Chinese IT Employers of 2007” awards ceremony.

The IT Industry Employer of Choice award is said to reflect the recognition of industry peers, customers and employees who acknowledge SAP’s continued commitment to developing and retaining local talent as well as creating a people-centric working environment which fosters innovation.

Nominee companies were evaluated on: operating margin, employee engagement and commitment to social responsibility.

“We are pleased to be recognised as the IT Industry Employer of Choice in China,” said Mark Gibbs, Executive Vice President, SAP North Asia.

“Our Employer of Choice program aims to create a sustainable culture which makes SAP not just ‘A Great Place to Work’, but also ‘A Great Place to Grow’ – that means a working environment which advocates the permission, practical assistance and support to help employees manage work and life priorities, at the same time providing increased career opportunities.”

SAP continues to invest in the fast-growing Asia Pacific Japan region by adding 3384 full time employees in 2007, bringing the regional total to more than 9500 full-time equivalent employees.
